This six weeks you will participate in a literature circle! So...what exactly is that? Glad you asked! A literature circle is a group of students reading the same book and sharing thoughts and ideas about the selection.

Circle Choices -
1. Once you make your selection, go to MBC and participate in a chat with classmates about your choice.
2. Post a comment in MBC discussions - see Ms. Johnston's discussion topic.
